About us

Masters in Curating Remarkable
Journeys

At Splendid Holidays, we believe travel is more than just seeing new places – it’s about creating experiences that stay with you forever. Since our founding in 2007 by Ms. Bijal Desai, our mission has been simple yet powerful: to design journeys that connect people to the world in ways that are meaningful, immersive, and transformative.

Where It All Began

Splendid Holidays was born out of a passion for exploration and a vision to offer something beyond the ordinary. What began in India soon expanded globally, with an office in New Jersey, USA, serving as our bridge to clients across continents.

From the very beginning, we set out to redefine how people travel – moving away from generic tours and cookie-cutter itineraries. Instead, we embraced a more thoughtful approach: journeys tailored to the individual, where every detail is carefully crafted and every experience is unique.

How We Work

Our approach is rooted in curiosity and guided by expertise. Travel, for us, is about connection – with cultures, with landscapes, and with oneself. We design each trip from the ground up, ensuring no two journeys are ever the same.

The destination is just the beginning – what truly matters are the emotions you feel, the stories you gather, and the sense of wonder you carry home.

What Makes Us Different

At Splendid Holidays, we believe travel should be more than moving from one place to another. It should transform the way you see the world – and yourself.

We don’t design trips that skim the surface. Instead, we go deeper, curating experiences that immerse you in culture, connect you with people, and awaken your sense of wonder.

What sets us apart is the balance we create – blending luxury with authenticity, comfort with curiosity, and detail with spontaneity. Our journeys are built not on fixed templates, but on thoughtful conversations with you. We want to understand what excites you, what inspires you, and what you dream of experiencing – and then bring it to life in a way that feels effortless.

We'll show you the world

And in an entirely new light

We curate trips for travellers who want to see the world up close – foregoing ‘tick lists’ and tourist traps in favour of deeper and more intimate connections with the world and its cultures.

Today, we take people to all seven continents, designing all of our trips from the ground up. This way, no two journeys are ever quite alike. Trekking with the tribes of Borneo; learning the trade of tanning in Morocco; joining the jostling crowds of Sienna’s palio. It’s a wide, wild world. And your travels should be the same.

Regenerative Travel

A Lasting Impact For A Changing World

At Splendid Holidays, we know you’re seeking travel experiences that will leave a lasting, positive impact on our planet and the communities that call it home. This is a belief we also share, and it has been since our founding in 2005.

Travel with Purpose

We believe that truly remarkable journeys don’t just leave an impact on you — they leave a positive mark on the world too. At Splendid Holidays, responsibility and care are at the heart of what we do. Every journey is designed with thoughtfulness: supporting local communities, celebrating cultural heritage, and respecting the natural environments we step into.
For us, sustainable travel isn’t about compromise — it’s about creating deeper meaning. Choosing stays that honor their surroundings, experiences that empower local voices, and practices that preserve the beauty of our planet for generations to come.
This way, your travels become more than a collection of moments. They become part of a bigger story — one of connection, respect, and regeneration.

Because when we travel with purpose, the world gives back in the most unforgettable ways.

We exist to create a lasting impact for our clients, our partners and the communities we engage with.
